SiC Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Ah so its got a choke. 4 gears, carb and a choke - its peaked my interest! LightBulbFun and Marm Toastsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 That's got to be injection at that age. I'm pretty sure the last of the carbs were K reg, I had one with a manual choke. The forum bike AX, same age and engine is single point injection. Joey spud and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Looks like a throttle body to me, but I'm no expert. What are the wires plugged into the top of the struts? Looks exceedingly French. I'm guessing you have to attend to the cam belt, must be pretty simple to do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey spud Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Like most little cars these got single point injection fitted at around 1992 to get around the newly introduced emission rules.Single point injection is just one big injector above a throttle flap all housed in a simple carburettor shaped body.It's simple and cheap to produce although nowhere near as efficient and one injector per cylinder systems.Here's our 954cc four speeder that my father uses as his smoking shelter.It was the late mother in laws daily and hasn't moved now for a good six years but it was always a friendly,eager little car.I won it on ebay circa 2005 for £41 with a broken cambelt and A framed it back from Horley to Rochester one friday afternoon (M23 / M25) behind my turbo Impreza.I wouldn't attempt such shenanigans now days.

Jim Bell Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Well that explains why it looks just like a carbed one to my ignorant eye. Cheers man. No plans to get the little smoking shelter moving around again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince70 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I’ve changed a few of these for friends and family and the really weird thing is you don’t have the same problem on the really early Binis which have metal door strap so I guess BMW changed the design for cheapness.

Jim Bell Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just had the AX up the jetwash and the Albanians (or insert other clichéd presumption of nationality and ethanicity) were creased up laughing at me in it. They even went indoors to get other random people to come outside and have a look at me in it. That aside, good news! I can confirm that the sunroof doesn't leak. And she cleans up rather well. egg, Burnside, Datsuncog and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I did give it a few emergency stops on my run around this afternoon and the breaks do seem improved. I also worked out that the pedal position and lack of room make it a lot harder to drive with purpose when compared to just motorway cruising. I also did a quick button count. If you don't count the fancy radio, this car has three buttons. Three. Hazards. Mist-be-gone. And foghat. Actually, fog hat is quite appropriate.

Jim Bell Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Wait. what? Roffling already?Not the car. Not now anyway. But the thread will probably be on that theme. I tend to buy a lot of cars and usually roffle them so instead of a load of individual threads, itll just all be done in this one thread. bangernomics and Burnside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
